There is no one treatment that is IT! In many contexts, it is the holistic treatment agenda where meds may or may not play a role. No med is the solution to ADHD either, even if it works. Often times, treatment failure on meds is not because of the meds but because the other factors are not in place.
In fact, in other disorders, you can receive a therapeutic effect from stimulants. You know, one of the most common treatment for resistant depression twenty years ago were psychostimulants. Whether or not they were really aDHD can be debated but it is recognized as an adjunctive treatment.
Mood Disorders and ADHD overlap a great deal and we often have to treat both disorders concurrently
